Ninang and Ninong at the wedding
Some impressions from the wedding of our friends Monik and Carlo. We were asked to be Ninang and Ninong (God parents).
It was a wonderful party. Both Monik and Carlo grow up in Davao – Rosemarie knows both parents for many years – but the met in Sidney, Australia.
Both families and many friends came to this special celebration – around 350 guests.
We were asked to give a speech during the reception. Find out in the video what these items have to do with marriage:
One thing which also blessed us, is that both families really stick together. Even after being married Monik and Carlo will still be very much part of their big families. They both expressed that during the celebration and it is so different from the way many western young couples deal with their families.
